It had to happen...
Today I got an interesting message. It seems that someone was doing some hardcore hacking of machines at a university campus. The person used one of these accounts to send me a message requesting a copy of Secure Drive. This message and my response were wiretapped by the people investigating the hacking. They traced the hacker and arrested him. His computer was encrypted with Secure Drive. The IS manager involved sent me a message asking me how to break Secure Drive, because they can't prosecute the person without the data, and the suspect has of course forgotten the encryption passphrase. So far I don't have many details other than these. I hope to find out more. I'd like to talk to the investigator and to the suspect. I sent the IS manager a copy of Secure Drive and told him how it works, but that's about all I can do. --- Mike
